> 3 dayCheap Chinese made product. Functions button are not clearly marked in white for easy reading - just recessed markings on black buttons which are very hard to read and requiring to instrument to orientated in the light to be able to barely read.

> 3 dayI wasnt sure this would be worth the increased price over the mechanical version, as well as the need to have batteries to run it. Now that Ive been using it a few times, it definitely is. This reads lower trigger pull weights better, like on an air pistol trigger down at 500g. Its also nice that it can run a series of trigger pull weights over and over and average them right on the meter, which helps get rid of any errors you may cause yourself occasionally on some bad pulls. Ive also come to appreciate how the weight sensor is in the tip where it contacts the trigger. On the mechanical version of the gauge, you have to pull the main body, and the weight is a function of how far it pulls the trigger arm out of the body itself, against a spring. This electronic version can, but does NOT HAVE TO BE pulled by the gauge body itself. You can get the sensor on the trigger, then put your finger over the top of the sensor itself, like youre directly pressing the trigger and just sandwiching the sensor in the middle. Especially on lighter trigger pulls, thats given me the ability to much more carefully and slowly depress the trigger right up to the release point. Trying it that way, and then by just pulling back on the body of the gauge itself, similar to using the mechanical version, Ive found less variance, and closer pull weights to average out, so Im able to do better trigger pulls with this one. To me those additional gains are worth the extra $40 over the mechanical one. If you werent really concerned with the accuracy of your measurements, youd just hang the go/no-go weight on it and see if it passed. If youre buying a gauge in the first place, you usually want to know where youre really at, how close you are to the no-go point, and what effect any work or adjustments you just did had on your trigger pull. Basically, if you need to measure it, do it accurately.

Greater than one weekThis is a great tool if you are doing trigger work. It comes with a paper showing how accurate it is and it comes in a hard plastic case. This gauge will tell you lowest pull and heaviest pull. It also will give an average of however many pulls were made. I definitely recommend this tool.

> 3 dayLiterally opened this and you can’t even put batteries in. Literally missing a spring for the negative side. Looks like it’s missing the pieces for the positive sides too. Who let this pass through inspection. There’s a piece of paper that said it has been tested and passed the inspector. But idk how y’all even turned it on. Go with another brand not worth the 60$. They literally do fake inspections on it.

Greater than one weekI can confirm this device gives accurate readings. The readings I got were in line with the published trigger weights on a few triggers that I tested. Granted, you will not get the same exact weight on each pull, that is why the unit gives an average. You do need to make sure you dont continue to pull, though, when the trigger breaks. That can give innacurate readings. I thought the device was very easy to use and self explanatory. Another solid product from Wheeler that is a great value. I did notice the unit looked beat up when I opened it, and thought it may have been used. However, based on some other reviews, I think that is because of how the unit is packaged, without plastic or a screen cover, and it rubs on the internal foam lining in the case and causes the scratches. Either way, Im not worried about it and think this trigger pull gauge works great.
